Marshals required for Hospice fundraiser

A local hospice is inviting people to make a difference and marshal the PJ Parade route at the first Ultimate Pyjama Party.

On Friday 21 June, hundreds of women will come together at Carlisle Racecourse for an action packed evening of fundraising, pampering and live entertainment in aid of Eden Valley Hospice.
